Colonial Bungalow Avychitecture 
Something New and Distinctive in Homes 


N PRESENTING this Colonial architecture we would like to call 
particular attention to some of its noteworthy features. © 


Distinctly American lines are followed in these impressive homes, 
By ingeniously blending the best characteristics of both the Colonial 
and Bungalow types, our architects have created something new in 
homes. Careful study of the newest ideas found in Los Angeles has 
been made by Aladdin representatives right on the ground. In appear- 
ance these houses are impressive. Too, they have the very important 
advantage of economy and practicability. 


There is the pronounced touch of Colonial treatment in every house, 
yet, the bungalow effect is preserved. The best from these two indi- 
vidual styles of architecture is used in this series of homes. “Lhe 
beauty and appearance of each individual house has been carefully 
brought out. Special attention was given to proper ventilation, and 
windows and doors are located to secure it, in addition to supplying 
their ordinary function of light and air. The most skilled architects 
on interior plans have spent weeks in working out the location and 
dimensions for every room and closet in these houses. 


The thought, skill and pride of The Aladdin Company has been put 
into these homes. We know that each one is a practical home, 
sound in construction and made only of the very highest grade of 
building materials. 


We know that the prices quoted on these houses are absolutely the 
lowest. If you have doubt about it compare them with the figures 
for any similar type of home. We know that in addition to supply- 
ing you with an entirely new design of home, that we can save you 
many hundred dollars on the purchase. 


These are in reality new creations, which we completed too late to 
include in the Aladdin Book of Homes. Therefore these new homes 
are included in this supplement to the book of Aladdin Homes. The 
construction is sturdy and durable. Many of the pictures of the fol- 
lowing homes show the structures nestling close to the ground. Where 
sewers are not deep, the same effect can be secured by building base- 
ment walls to the required height and then terracing the lawn 
directly around the house. The building specifications for these 
homes are the same as set forth on pages 12 and 13 of The Aladdin 
House Book. 


: The Cape Cod 


HERE is a clean, clear crispness in the very name of Cape Cod. 
In dignity and strength of design, this house is worthy of the 
fine old traditions associated with the name. To carry the 
simile further, it also radiates warmth and hospitality. 

Approached from any side, this is a home of impressive beauty. 
The wide lap siding, painted white, the English type of hood with 
heavy ornamental bracket, the wide terrace, brick pedestals on either 
side of the entrance, gable dormer and the pergola all blend in archi- 
tectural harmony. 

The Cape Cod is delightful also throughout its interior. The living room 
is spacious and cheery as a living room should be. The wall and floor space 
is in proper proportion for advantageous arrangement of furniture and rugs. 
The room shows a fireplace. A French door opens on to the pergola on the 
side. The closet, too, is most convenient for the visitors’ wraps. 

The dining room is worthy of careful study. It is closed off from the living 
room with French doors. Two windows afford ample light and the wall 


space is sufficient. The kitchen LA ay et 
is an unusual model of convenience 

and it is detached from all portions i 

of the house except the dining | ny aes 


room. The grade entrance to the 10:2"412'0" 
back yard is enclosed which serves 
also as the entrance to the roomy 
basement. 

The bedrooms, three in number, 
are excellently located for privacy, 
each one opening off of the hall, all 
have cplenty sof light; and “air. “and 
each is provided with a clothes 
closet. The bathroom, too, which 
is of ample size, opens off of the 
hall, and it is therefore convenient 
to all the bedrooms. Write for de- 
tailed specifications of The Cape 
Cod.

The Rainier - 


T. RAINIER, the king of the Cascades, has been proclaimed 
by world-wide travellers to be one of the most beautiful 
mountains in the world. Applied to a home the descrip- 

tion as to beauty still fits its namesake. The Rainier is one of the 
most beautiful little homes in the world. 


There is an atmosphere of refinement in this design. It possesses 
an unusually charming exterior and within its confines is found six 
rooms for solid comfort. 


In the front of the house the living room and the den adjoin. 
French doors from the den open on to the porch. 


The dining room has three windows in the bay. A grade entrance 


at the rear leads to kitchen and base- 
THLCii ts 


Two bedrooms provide the sleeping 
accommodations, the 14 x 12 bedroom 
has two windows in the bay, while the 
|, other has three windows, getting light 
43 and air from both the side and rear of 
| the house, both have clothes closets. 
Entrance to these rooms including the 


bathroom is made off the hall. 

In an inexpensive house we know of no 
feature essential to comfort, or detail-lend- 
ing. charm which is not embodied in this 
design. Write for detailed specifications of

The Gotham 


UILDING a home is generally the most important event in a 
life time. Many times in flights of fancy we have pictured the 
type of home we would like to call ours. To build these creations 
would be worthy of the skill of great architects. The term “air 


castles’ we presume eminated from indulgence in these pleasant 
dreams. 


But to turn abruptly from vagaries to real physical realities, we 
doubt if the wildest dreamer ever conceived of anything so perfect in 
an average size home as the Gotham. 


It has every attribute one seeks in a perfect home. Assuredly it is pleasing 
to look upon. The Gotham is plain, yet it is refined. The dormer above the 
entrance breaks the pitch of the roof with pleasing effect. The double columns 
on either side of the doors are real embellishments. 


Another noteworthy feature of this home is the manner in which it lends 
itself to floral decorative effects, this adds much in beauty to the place, yet 
you will observe that in charm the home dominates the whole scene. 


The superb features attained on 
the outside of the Gotham, are main- 
tained on the inside. Five splendid 
rooms comprise the floor plan. The 
living room and dining room occupy 
the front portion of the _ house. 
Three pair of French doors enrich 
the living room. 


There are two nice size bed rooms. 
Each one connecting with the bath 
and each room, too, is supplied with 
a clothes closet. 


The kitchen has double windows 
and ample wall space for all kitchen 
utilities. An enclosed rear addition 
has an entrance to both kitchen and 
the basement. Write for detailed 
specifications of The Gotham. 


The Emerson 


ORE skill and experience are needed to properly design the 
smaller types of homes than those which are large and where 
space economy is definitely limited. Aladdin designers were 


asked to produce a pure Colonial type within the compass of 
18x 30 feet. The result as shown in the interior picture, and the interior ar- 
rangement really astonished us all. 

The general restfulness of lines combine to give the house a pleasing bal- 
ance and dignity of appearance. 

The rooms are so arranged that the work of maintaining this home in 
“spick and span” order is reduced to a minimum. Very little furniture, too, 
is necessary to make this house most cozy and comfortable. The cheer of 
the well-lighted living room is enhanced by the fireplace... The dining table 
and comfortable seats are furnished with the house. 

There are two bedrooms, one of which, of course, might be used for any 
other purpose desired. The bath is conveniently located off of the hall. 

For compactness and economy this house commends itself to any one want- 
ing a home of these dimensions because it cannot be equalled for convenience, 
price and appearance. Write for detailed specifications of The Emerson.

The Brookfield 


OUR home is your throne and contented families will reign 
in the Brookfield. There is no feature conducive to happiness 
that beauty and convenience can supply in a home which is 
not found in this one. 


Architects of the very widest experience designed this house. It has been 
examined by the most competent critics and the opinion is we have an unex- 
celled masterpiece in its particular class. 


The illustration shows the exterior as well as a picture can. <A glance 
impels approval. But study the details found in its graceful lines and impres- 
sive dimensions and you will readily discover the qualities for which it is 
praised. 


The floor plan shows seven wonderful rooms. Observe the division which is 
made of the fifty foot sweep extending across the front of the house. A living 
room 24x14, the three artistic windows, the fireplace against the walls in the 
corner, the French doors between the dining room and the sun parlor. The lat- 
ter room has seven windows, it is in fact a sun parlor in all that the term em- 


braces. 


The well located dining room has five en Hen HF el eR 
windows with an outlook on both the 
front and side of the house. The kitchen 
adjoins, it has ample wall space for 
kitchen essentials such as the house- 
wife needs. The enclosed grade en- 4 
trance leads to both the kitchen and & 
the basement. 

There are three bed rooms all lead- 
ing off the hall, each one has 
a clothes closet. The proper 
apportionment of windows as- 
sures light and airy rooms. 


The bath at the end of the 
hall is convenient as it should 
be to all these rooms. Write

The Vista Bungalow Home 
ITERALLY, a vista is a beautiful view through rows of trees. 
How aptly it is defined in the comfortable, inviting appear- 
ance of this home. From the floral fringe at its base to the 
ridge of its gracefully sloping roof, the Vista gives a pleasing impres- 
sion. It is an abode that you could proudly call “Home.” 7 


The porch lends to the beauty of the Vista. The white column 
supports for the jutting roof, the clean cement or red brick floor and 
the French door combine in making an impressive entrance. 


The interior provides for five well-sized and well-arranged rooms. 
The living room and dining room are especially attractive; they are 
connected by a wide arch opening. The soft glow from crackling 
logs in the fireplace make the living room one of these rare places 
where life is happiest. 


The two bedrooms are alike in size, 
each one is provided with two windows 
and a clothes closet. The bathroom ad- 
joins the bed rooms and entrance to it 
can be made from either room. 


The kitchen is of good size, well pro- 
vided with light and air and convenient 
to the dining room. The fine simple lines 
of this home represent real beauty in 
architecture and within their inviting 
confines is found every housekeeping 
convenience and comfort. Write for

of this home with all its charms is possible only when one has 

had an opportunity to ramble about its surrounding green 

lawn and view with the eye the admirable features found without and within. 
The style of architecture is unique. There is something fresh and whole-

pride in ownership.

The Hampshire 


HIS quaint design possesses true architectural values. The 
splendid balance of the Hampshire is secured with the bay on 
one side and the pergola on the other. The gabled entrance, 
the rounded pillars, the window treatment and the blinds are 

reminiscent of Colonial times. Individuality in design is an impor-

The interior which is laid out in five pleasing airy rooms is planned with the 
same finesse in lines and proportions as the exterior. Observe the splendid size 
of the living room. The fireplace is flanked with windows on either side. 
In the opposite end of the room two French doors open out on the pergola.

I-Room Cottage Home “2""%.” 


HE Emerald is a charming home. We christened it the “Emerald” because 
it has so much value compressed into a relatively small space. It is certainly 


_ a jewel of the first water in design, appearance, and in convenience. 

Shingled walls, which may be left to weather or may be stained any shade you desire from 
the emerald green of the forest to the deep golden browns of autumn foliage. Our picture 
shows the sash and eaves touched with white—a splendid contrast. Roughly hewn brackets 
support the projecting eaves and the hooded entrance. Note the casement sash set in a 
mullion frame—distinctive. The red brick chimney enhances the general effect. 

_ The interior affords five rooms conveniently arranged. The 

living room stretches across the front of the house and opens 

full. width into the dining room. Two bed rooms and 

fee kitchen. complete a little home that will delight its owner 

and friends. The price quoted does not include the chimney, 

KitcHne nor the Colonial seat at the front. The material for the 

-chimney is always procured locally. Can’t you imagine this 

little cottage: nestling ’neath a spreading oak, flower-bordered 
and inviting—your homie?

Two New Plans for the 
Emerald pictured at righty 


THE EMERALD—PLAN B 


The artistic homey exterior appearance ot The Hmerald appeals so 
generally to those building a small home that we designed different inter- 
ior floor plans to suit the taste of the builder. Plan B provides splendid 
arrangement of rooms. Careful consideration is given in placing windows 
and doors so as to allow ample air and light without sacrificing wall space. 
Thus it provides also for the best arrangement of furniture. 

The Breakfast Room or Dining Alcove is a splendid convenient feature. 
It saves both space and dining room furniture. The table and seats are 
furnished with the house. Seven people can be conveniently and com- 
fortably seated around the table. 

The Bath Room which is large enough for all bath fixtures, is located 
conveniently to bed* rooms. The fact that it is located next to the kitchen 
minimizes amount of plumbing required. 

The Kitchen embodies every feature which is sought by the house- 
wife seeking a complete, step-saving, work-eliminatng plan. The windows 
are high enough to set a refrigerator or cabinet underneath, a chest of 
drawers too can be conveniently placed beneath the drain board. A study 
of this plan convinces one of the unusual comfort and convenience of 
Floor Plan B. See price at bottom of this page.

° A Summer Cottage 
The Rustic in Colonial Design 
HIS is a remarkably good looking comfortable summer home. 
The porch extending along the entire front of the house is cov- 
ered, being part of the main roof. The pillars and the railing 
about the porch set the front of the house off to excellent advantage. 


The Rustic follows the general lines of our Kentucky bungalow which 
has had a great popularity for over ten years. 


This type is an entirely new feature in Aladdin Summer Cottages—larger 
than we have previously shown. There has been a demand for an archi- 
tectually attractive summer home of larger accommodations and the Rustic 
is one of three we are showing to meet this demand. Six splendid bedrooms 
afford hospitality for big house parties. Generous sized living room and din- 
ing room, big kitchen and convenient rear screened porch afford ample con- 
veniences for the most exacting 
demands. 


Ample window space gives this 
house an abundance of light, air 
and perfect ventilation. 


The unusually fine lines of the 

outside of this house and its com- irae 
plete and comfortable interior 
make this one of the most attrac- 
: : BED ROOM 
tive summer homes ever designed. et

S NICKEYDOCKEY New England Design 
HIS ten-room summer home is more pretentious in size and 
appearance than the general run of buildings of this type. It 
has qualities which make an instant appeal to those needing 

a summer place of this size. 

Think of a summer home with seven bed rooms. Several families 
could be comfortably housed in it. In addition there is a living room, 
a kitchen and a screened dining porch. Toilet, bath and closet space 
are provided, too. 

This fine home erected in one’s favorite vacation spot, would as- 
suredly add much to the enjoyment of country life. 

Another important factor, it is possible to erect this readi-cut type 
of building so rapidly that it would be available for use in a surpris- 
ingly short time. 

Men practically unskilled in the building line, and those who have 
had very little experience have achieved pronounced success in building readi- 
cut homes. This is vouched for in hundreds of letters we have received from 
Aladdin builders. See general Summer Cottage specifications on page 114

The Cosynoo of New Design 


HE Call of the Wild can be answered with zest and enthusiasm 
when one has a home to go to like the Cosynook. The joy of 
living in the great open country is increased a thousand fold 

if your family and your visitors are comfortably housed. 


In design the Cosynook is not only a thing of beauty in any vacation 
spot, but it is also a summer home of great comfort and much room. 


Four bedrooms occupying one entire side of the house insures 
ample room for the family and company too. 


Rainy days or chilly nights would never mean discomfort in this 
house. The splendid living room shows a cheery fireplace where 
burning logs flare, and embers glow. This would impart cheer, in 
any group. Dull moments in such a room are impossible. 


Many a holiday in the country is clouded be- 
cause the meals at the hotel don’t suit, or the 
hours at which they are served makes you arise 
when you want to sleep, or a ride, or a fishing PORCH 
trip is interfered with. Your own good kitchen 
and dining room leaves you free to serve meals 
when you want them, and to prepare what you 
like. This is such an important thing where LIVING 
there are children or when some particular diet ROOM 
must be catered to.

To enjoy. life in the country and to get the 
most out of it in renewed vigor get a home of 
your own. Get the Cosynook, it is the type of

What is an Aladdinette? 


T IS an apartment that separated itself from other apartments and 
| became a house by itself. For practical efficiency, convenience 
and utility, you cannot improve upon the modern accommoda- 
tions in a big apartment building, but the undesirable features 


such as crowding many families in one building; the lack of yard space, etc., 
have proven detrimental to the big apartment building type of home. The 


desirable features of both the apartment and the detached home are combined 
in the Aladdinette. 


The convenience of properly arranged, expertly propor- 
tioned rooms which are typical of the 
apartment, together with the privacy of 
the detached home and freedom of yard and 
lawns, constitute the features that make for the 
popularity of the Aladdinette with the Ameri- 
can family. Each Aladdinette design offers the 
convenience and utility of a house or home 
nearly twice its size. This is attained thru 
adaptation of accessories which have proven 
satisfactory beyond doubt to thousands of 
homes and luxurious apartments in the larger 
cities of the country. 


aye 


lie quickest and most successful method to find the great advantage of 


an Aladdinette Home is to compare one to an old style home. Take for 

example the Abbott. It possesses six rooms. However, it has nine room 
value and utility. The size of the Abbott is 24x 38 ft. 
An extra 432 square feet of space would be necessary 
in building the old type of home to secure the advan- 
tages and utility of the Abbott Aladdinette. In other 
words an addition similar in size to that indicated by 
the dotted line in the diagram would be necessary, in 
any other type of home, to equal this floor plan.

Yes, the extra costs would amount to practically one-third more, 
or, on a three thousand dollar Aladdinette an average of $1000 
would be saved in cost without losing one single advantage. 


This is an average comparison and demonstrates in a general way the big reason for the 
popularity of the Aladdinette plan.

The Aladdinette Home has nearly fifty points of unique interest to the prospective 
home builder. It is not possible to include them all in a short description. Read 
all the following introduction thoroughly, for it will reveal a new home idea sur- 
passing in excellence. 


CUTS COSTS OF HOMEBUILDING AND 
HOME OWNING 
HE Aladdinette Home is a modernized 
conception of efficiency, convenience 
and utility. It converts wasted space of 
house plans into utilized space, thus 
reducing the footage to that which is usable, 
conserving building expense, enhancing the 
convenience of the home, saving housework 
and reducing to their simplest terms, order 
and neatness. Each design offers the con- 
venience and utility of house or home twice 
its size. The secret of this accomplishment 
is in the planning combined with the adapta- 
tion of accessories now used in expensive 
apartments, private railroad cars and the like. 
The accessories are fully explained in this 
booklet. 


LARGER THAN EXPECTED 


An experienced builder paid his first visit 
to an Aladdinette Home after nightfall and 
was impressed by its large living room and 
other genuine accommodations. Upon seeing 
the house in daylight and roughly measuring 
the exterior, he exclaimed, “I thought it was 
twice as large.”” That is the mystery of the 
Aladdinette—the detached apartment, it is 
the extracted essence of home, serviceable, 
complete,—at half the cost. 


ALADDINETTES EQUIPPED WITH 
MURPHY BEDS 


The simplicity and practicability of the 
Murphy Bed doubles the value and usefulness 
of each room in the home where it is used. 
With its use the former sleeping chamber 
serves a double purpose, that of sleeping 
chamber at night and living-room, sun-parlor 
or dining room or one of the many other uses 
in the daytime. The Aladdin Company does 
not hesitate to fully recommend this remark- 
able, mechanical equipment, to the home- 


15 


seeker of America as the merits of this prod- 
uct are very excellent and of great utility. 
Definite and complete illustrations of the 
Murphy Wall Beds follow on page 17. 


DINING ALCOVE AND KITCHEN 
FIXTURES 


Two other features that have been intro- 
duced into many of our Aladdinette designs 
are the kitchenette and dining alcove or 
“Dutch Breakfast Room.’’ 


The kitchenette described fully on page 
16 dispenses with all useless space in the 
ordinary old fashioned kitchen. It materially 
reduces the burden of housework. 


“Tt is a small kitchen with a college edu- 
cation,” said a fair young college graduate, 
“it is as perfect in detail and arrangement 
as our chemical laboratory was. I can ac- 
complish my kitchen work with less than 
half the trouble, and in half the time neces- 
sary in my mother’s much larger kitchen.”’ 


HOUSEWORK MINIMIZED 


Modern invention has entered considerably 
into the field of housework and to a great 
extent banished drudgery but no matter how 
many labor saving devices the housewife buys 
her task is still computable by square footage 
of floor space. The Aladdinette system of 
doubling up rooms, has cut down dusting, 
sweeping and housecleaning forty per cent. 
A kitchenette is easier to keep clean than 
a large kitchen. The Holland housewife has 
the little Dutch Breakfast room or dining 
alcove always spick and span. American 
housekeepers never so much regret the use- 
lessly large dining room as when they are 
burdened with cleaning it. When you can 
sweep and dust a sunroom and bedroom too, 
all in one without passing thru a door, house- 
work has assumed simplicity. Thus the Alad- 
dinette appeals most strongly to common 
sense.

Aladdinette Built-In Features 


The Kitchenette Cabinet 


HE KITCHENETTE iis the result of 
a study of kitchen work and an in- 
spection of the smaller kitchens in 
apartment homes in the larger cities. 
One might as well march ten miles as to do 
the kitchen work for an ordinary day in an 
old fashioned kitchen, but in the kitchenette 
with everything within reach three-fifths of 
the arduous task is banished completely, 
work is accomplished in half the time and 
fatigue no longer attaches to the kitchen 
duties. : 

In the main, the kitchenette is not differ- 
ent from the kitchen except for size. All 
accessories necessary and found in modern 
kitchens are included in the kitchenette. 
Ample space, refrigerator, sink, drain board 
and four burner cook stove is included and 
in orderly arrangement—step-saving, work- 
saving, and time-saving. And besides this a 
wealth of cabinet space—twice as much cab- 
inet space as found in the average ordinary 
kitchen. The kitchenette is included in the 


price of Aladdinette Homes as shown in the plans and noted in the specifications. The price 
of the kitchenette does not include refrigerator, sink or cook stove. The balance of the kitchen- 
ette is furnished as noted on the diagram completely including stack above stove, hardware, etc. 


The chummy, handy dining alcove sometimes 
referred to as the ‘“‘Dutch Breakfast Room” saves 
steps and housework. It is the housewife’s 
friend. It is a tremendous economy in figuring 
building costs. The dining alcove as a feature of 
several of the Aladdinette designs, helps materi- 
ally in minimizing costs. It is pleasant and at- 
tractive in a cosy Aladdinette. 


Kitchen Cabinet and 


Broom Closet 


__ The Kitchen Cabinet as shown in the opposite 
illustration is an efficient and practical cabinet 
that will prove very attractive to the housewife. 
In appearance it is attractive, well designed, and 
modern, It is finished in Oregon fir with a beau- 
tiful natural grain. It will take either an oiled or 
stained finish or can be finished in white enamel. 
Top section has three shelves and is enclosed by 
two panel doors. Lower section has one drawer 
and two extra compartments with panel doors. 
Size of the cabinet illustrated is 5 feet wide and 7 
feet high. Bottom section 18 inches deep, top 
section 12 inches deep. The broom closet is 18 
inches wide and 12.inches deep. The cabinet 
used in the larger kitchens is size 6 feet 6 inches 
wide by 7 feet high.

The Dining Alcove 


Furniture 


One of the extravagant usages of 
space in the average home is a large 
dining room. It is a direct descen- 
dant of the banquet hall of the feu- 
dal castle. Its modern use resolves 
mostly into being a passageway or hall 
between other rooms for nine-tenths of 
the day. For the small family the 
dining room seldom if ever renders 
service commensurate with its cost and 
size. Indeed, housekeepers have dis- 
covered that a large dining room is 
without any justification. For occa- 
sions when many guests are to as- 
semble at a meal special arrangements 
are easily made. Few of the new 
hotel apartment buildings feature large 
dining rooms with the apartments. 
They have dining alcoves. 


Aladdinettes Are Equipped With 
Murphy Wall Beds 


The use of the Murphy Bed is distinctly an evidence of purely modern common sense 


and efficiency. 


It is an improvement without a fault. 


Objections to it there are 


none. Itoperates so softly aud simply that a child handles it without the least effort. 


Folding or drop-leaf tables, were a great 
space-saving invention, So were window 
sashes that raised and lowered, so were slid- 
ing doors and so are many other comparatively 
modern devices but none are equal in actual 
scientific economy to the Murphy Bed. 


BEST CONSTRUCTION 
The diagrams and illustrations on these 
pages demonstrate the use of 
the Murphy Bed. It is a san- 
itary and all-metal bed pivoted 


to the jamb and_ threshold 
(floor) of a_ standard _ closet 
door by a simple mechanism 


which permits it to swing thru 
the doorway and be easily low- 
ered for use. As for the door 
itself the bed in no way inter- 
feres with it. 

The bed is perfectly balanced 
by spring tension—having no 
counterweights. It cannot close 
up accidentally from any posi- 
tion but is moved up or down or 
swung thru the door—all with 
the slightest touch. The bed 
clothing is held in place by fric- 
tion clamps at the foot, and when the bed 
is upright in the closet the mattress and linen 
hang loosely from the top, receiving perfect 
ventilation. 

The pictures on these pages show the bed 
without bedding in order to illustrate me- 
chanical details. 

The standard Murphy Bed is made of 1% 
in. tubing. 

The double bed, standard size 4 feet 6 
inches wide by 6 feet 2 inches long, is fur- 
nished with Aladdinettes. 

The beds are finished in the Vernis Martin 
which is greatly superior to ordinary finishes. 


Illustration above shows the bed SWinging 
thru doorway. 


The springs are the famous Simmons no sag 
springs that have the resilient form holding 
coils at top and bottom which prevent sag- 
ging. Unquestionably these beds are the most 
comfortable, hygienic, durable beds obtainable. 
If this were not absolutely true, then Murphy 
Beds could not have been selected for the 
equipment of the new high class apartment 
hotels that have been erected at the cost of 
millions of dollars each in Chi- 
cago, Detroit, Milwaukee and 
other large cities. 


SIMPLE TO OPERATE 

You will notice that the Mur- 
phy Bed rests its entire weight 
on the floor at all times. All 
of the wall space in the closet 
is available for hanging clothes 
and entrance to the closet may 
be gained at all times without 
moving the bed. The balancing 
principal of the Murphy Bed is 
perfect and no weights are used. 
The bed stands firmly on the 
floor. It is impossible for them 
to close up unawares. The bed 
swings out of the closet so easily 
that a child can handle it, and altho it is at- 
tached to the jamb, the bed can be let down 
at any angle to avoid furniture. It is not 
necessary to roll the bed around on the 
floor thereby marring the floor and the wood- 
work. The Murphy Bed is always in its 
proper place. 

The diagram demonstrates how the Mur- 
phy Bed, which occupies normal bed space 
when in use, raises to a vertical position and 
pivots into the closet where it occupies about 
as much floor space as a couple of suit cases. 

Usually the closet in which the bed is kept 
is made enough larger to be a dressing room. 


TIME TESTED SUCCESS 


Murphy Wall Beds have been used in homes success- 
fully for at least ten years. 
successful feature in some of the newest and best hotels 
and apartment buildings. 
din-made homes serves aS an additional evidence of the 
progressiveness and superiority of Aladdin service.

Murphy Beds Used in This Million

The Surf Apartment Hotel, one of Chicago’s finest apartment buildings 


boasts of the exclusive use of Murphy Beds. 


This structure is one of the most 


recent and expensive apartment buildings to be erected in the country. Prac- 
tically without exception Murphy Beds are included in the plans of all the new 


buildings in the large cities.

TWO YEARS’ RENT WILL PAY FOR IT 


What is your yearly rent? That which you 
would have to pay for rent this year and 
next will more than pay for an Aladdinette. 
Why pay rent when it is so easy to OWN 
a home? Thousands of families are today 
paying eighty, ninety and one hundred dol- 
lars a month for apartments not nearly as 
attractive for home life as the Aladdinette. 


GUARANTEED COST OF MATERIALS 


Many claims are heard from builders today 
that a number of ‘extras’ are always in- 
cluded after the home is started which some- 
times doubles the cost of the price estimated 
at the start. It is obvious that this is elimi- 
nated in the erection of an Aladdinette and 
besides the money-saving possibilities of the 
Aladdin System and the Aladdinette home, 
this feature saves many builders hundreds of 
dollars on their homes, 


18 


These facts demonstrate the practicability of the 


PERMANENT, SUBSTANTIAL, 
ATTRACTIVE 


The Aladdinette home should not be con- 
fused with the portable house or homes built 
with cheap construction. The Aladdinette is 
NOT portable, not sectional, not built of 
wall-boards or any other similar materials but 
of the same grades of high quality lumber as 
are furnished for Aladdin Homes. For an 
Aladdin Home, the construction is permanent, 
warm and substantial in every way. The 
Aladdinette construction being identically the 
same construction as Aladdin Homes, will 
withstand the coldest climates. For fifteen 
years Aladdin Homes have been giving satis- 
factory service in the coldest parts of north- 
ern Canada and United States. The attrac- 
tiveness of each Aladdinette design is the re- 
sult of careful and thoughtful work on the 
part of experienced architects in the Aladdin 
organization. The designs are correct archi- 
tecturally and have proven very popular 
among home builders. 


The Dearborn 


CERTAIN man wanted to build a home. He said that it 
should contain a large and beautiful living room. And for 
balmy summer days he wished to have a sunfoom that could face both 
east and south. Windows should extend from corner to corner along 
the outside walls of the sunroom so that it could be airy and bright all day long. 


He demanded sleeping chambers to accommodate three beds. He asked 
that the kitchen be sensibly arranged without waste space, and that the bath- 
room be suitably located. When the plans were completed he found all he had 
asked for had been perfectly arranged on a single floor that contained only 
600 square feet of space. His delight and surprise were unbounded because he 
found the wonderful plans had saved him more than half what he planned to pay. 


The floor plan shows graphically the genius with which it was devised. De- 

tails so carefully worked out are perfect. 

Generous closet space is in evidence. 

SWESRSTM CIES. Sistema SER The doors are located to the best advan- 

aes tage. Access to the bath is private. With 

its Murphy Bed swung out of the closet 

at night the sunroom offers itself as a 

most attractive sleeping porch or bed- 
room.

The architectural effect of the exterior dis- 
guises the squareness of the structure with trun- 
cated gable ends, a pleasantly conforming chim- 
ney, a distinctive entrance and well-placed attrac- 
tive windows. The entire construction is strong, 
durable, permanent. It is Aladdin-built and that 
means without flaw. The Dearborn can be built 
quickly and with a minimum of labor cost. Two 
Murphy Beds and Kitchenette equipment are in- 
cluded in the price. Extra charge for siding, or

The Glenelyn 


ERE is an inexpensive home offering excellent accommoda-

construction of hunting lodges and homes among the mountains, 
but we venture to say that rarely has a home of these dimensions em- 
braced so much solid advantage or substantial utility, as is included 
in this floor plan. 


The invisible bedroom which materializes with the lowering of the 
Murphy Bed, the Kitchenette and Dining Alcove accessories combine 
to yield the utility and convenience of a larger, and more expensive 
home. Cedar shingled sides and several slight but effective additions 
transform an otherwise plain and severe exterior to cheerful attract- 
iveness. In many sections of the country this design is one of the 
most popular Aladdinettes. 


Note the large living room with four windows; bedroom with four windows; 
dining alcove with five windows. The bathroom is extra large. Kitchenette 
Cabinet and closeted Murphy Bed are included in the price. (See page 16.) 


The extreme simplicity and util- , 
ity of this home makes it a popular -———_—— 
design. The abundance of light 
and air will be approved, but the 
arrangement of the rooms and the

The Abbott 


HIS design is admirably adapted to either one or two story 
homes. 


Observe the generous size of the rooms, the three in which 
the Murphy Beds are installed enables you to quickly convert those 


rooms into sleeping apartments. With equal facility the beds completely disappear within the 
neat closet accommodations provided for them. In actual space these accommodations are 
equivalent to three extra bed-rooms. That heavy additional cost in the house however, is 
eliminated, but by making these rooms answer a double purpose the bedroom accommodations 
remain. 

The living room is of unusual size; seven windows and a fire place guarantee it warmth and 
cheer. The location of the sunroom and sleeping porch is ideal, six windows provide it with 
ample ventilation and light. 

The dining room is well dimensioned, well-lighted and allows for the best furniture arrange- 
ment. The closeted Murphy Bed in this room is instantly available when needed. 

The kitchen though, normally large, has the advantage of the Kitchenette equipment; this 
feature is an efficient labor-saver; it appeals to the housewife, 

The dressing room between the bath and living room is extra large, affording more space for 
this purpose than the average bedroom. The linen closet is another feature worthy of mention. 


THE ABBOTT, PLAN B 
The two-story Abbott classes as an Aladdinette solely because it has the Kitchenette and 
two Murphy Beds. 


The full-sized dining room, and the two large bedrooms on the second floor make a strong 
appeal to families needing this additional space. Write for detailed specifications of the Abbott.

The Alcona 


ANY families are paying up to $125.00 a month for an apart- 

ment that does not compare favorably with the Alcona. Few 

apartments are more desirable. $125.00 a month for two years 
would equal the cost of building the Alcona complete in most com- 
munities and then the family could eliminate the landlord. From the 
standpoint of utility, the Alcona compares with the majority of apart- 
ments ever built. The living room size in the Alcona is greater than 
found in the average apartment. In the rear of the living room is the 
dining-alcove which can be converted into a sleeping porch if desired. 
The Murphy Wall Bed, which is part of the closet, can be placed in 
position when needed or taken out of the way when not in use. Or

The Mayview 


LL THE elements of a very livable and beautiful detached 
apartment home enter into the composition of this attractive 
Aladdinette. Having normal bedroom and two Murphyized 
convertible rooms the sleeping capacity is considerable for a 

complete home of this type. The sunroom connected with the living 
room and the living room itself both have closeted Murphy Beds. 
The living room fireplace in its relationship to the two rooms seems 
a central vantage point of homey happiness. The double glass doors 


transmit light from the sunroom to the living room and make the two 
rooms seem as one. 


The most delightful dining room conceivable is this one of the May- 
view. The double French doors occupy- 
ing the entire exposed side of the room 
open to an artistic brick terrace with 
an Italian pergola above. Air, light and 
the outdoors appeal make this room per-

The Arden 


OULD you have thought it possible for a complete and liv- 
able home 22x26 feet to contain three bedroom capacity, a 
living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a dressing room? 
It is practically certain there are but few, if any, other homes 
of these dimensions which can so comfortably house a family of 
five or six. Double value of this living room is obtained by the 
installation of a Murphy Wall Bed. A bedroom when needed, yet 
the bed is hidden from view and unnoticeable when not needed. 
So the coziness and comfort of the living room, which is the same 
as the living room of any well planned home, is not molested save 
at night time, when the use of the Wall Bed is desired. A dining 
room with its attendant costs in the erection of the home is the most 
expensive part of the home. The dining 
room in the average home is used about 
thirty minutes three times a day at the 
most. The balance of the day it serves as all 
a passageway to the kitchen, bedroom or 
other rooms. Rather expensive room for 


the small amount of service rendered, that’s 
certain. In the Arden a living room table 


during the day serves as a dining table at Beats 


meal time which trebles the value of the liv- 
ing room. Two large bedrooms, large bath- 
room and hall are included in the plan. Small

The Sonoma 


CUSTOMER desired to compare an Aladdinette with a home 
designed on the regular lines without the wall bed and kitchen- 

ette feature of the Aladdinette Home. It was found that the 
regular house in order to provide all the features found in the 
Sonoma had to be forty per cent larger in size and cost a trifle over 
one thousand dollars more for the material alone than the Sonoma. 
The same construction was used in both homes in making this com- 
parison. In short, the home builder secures forty per cent more for 
his money buying an Aladdinette than obtainable in the regular de- 
signed home. The Sonoma contains a 22x12 living room, two bed- 
rooms, a very desirable dressing room, extra large clothes closet, bath- 
room, breakfast alcove or dining room, kitchen, hall for accessibility 
to rooms, and an attractive pergola side porch. This is an example 
an of the service to the builder in the 

= Maer oat ad dinette plan. Regardless of 

where the Sonoma is erected, it will 
compare favorably if not prove more 
satisfactory than other homes erected 
near it. Strong, substantial construc-

The N OVa 


LEVER arrangement has combined in the Nova a comfortably 
large living room, an average bedroom, a kitchenette, a dining 
room and a bathroom in a compact little home 24 x 22 feet with 


wing, and has added by way of sleeping accommodation two 
Murphy Beds in closets, one off the living room and one off the dining room. 
In utility and comfort the Nova is equal to a home of six rooms of more 
than the average size and it is one of the lowest priced Aladdinettes. Its com- 
pleteness is remarkable. The casual observer might think that for a thousand 
or fifteen hundred dollars more, a home of ordinary design could be made as 
livable as the Nova but more careful analyses disclose the error. The attractive 
little Nova has an eighteen and a half by twelve foot living room. The dining 
room is cozy and attractive; it has four well-placed windows making it light, 


airy and cheerful. ; : 
The Kitchenette is an extraordinary help in housekeeping. (See top of page 
16.) Kitchen space of twice the size would not provide the advantages found 


in this fine feature. , 
Has it only one bedroom? No, by the simple converting process of the 


Murphy-ized rooms, two added excellent sleeping rooms are ready for use. 
Two fine rooms of double purpose, their dual nature makes them equal to four, two of which 
vanish when the other two are in use. Aladdin 
magic is again at work to give the home-builder 
the most possible for his money, it is the Aladdin 
process of providing what you need and saving a 
large percentage of what you would otherwise 
have to pay to get it. The bathroom is nicely 
and conveniently arranged. The hall giving pri- 
vate access to the bathroom provides also an ex- 
cellent space for shelves and cupboard for blank- 
ets, boxes, linen, etc. 

The Murphy Bed closets have capacity for 
much storage of extra clothing and the like. This 
little home has closet room equal to homes twice 
its size. The Nova’s exterior presents an exceed- LIVING ROAM: 
ingly attractive, pleasant appearance giving a cor- ARD 
rect impression of being a cottage of sunshine and 
welcome to visitors. 

The fine points of Aladdin superior construc- 
tion are not omitted from the building of this 
home. The Nova will be weatherproof in the 
most rigorous climate. You will find it equal, 
or more substantial in comparison to any neigh- 
boring houses. Write for detailed specifications 
of the Nova,

The Lakota 


HIS is a model of elegance and beauty. The refinement and 
chaste outlines of this house will engage the interest of fas- 
tidious people. The beauty, however, is not solely in the ex- 
terior but it is also carried into effect within. The Lakota has 
more of aristocratic lineage than has ever before entered into the makeup 
of a small dwelling. - This Aladdinette design may be built single or double, that 
is as a little home of four rooms and bath and one closeted Murphy Bed, or it 
may be built with an additional width to comprise a twin apartment arrange- 
ment as shown in plan No. 2. 
The single apartment, Plan No. 1, offers two bedrooms, a living room with 
a closeted Murphy Bed, a kitchenette and bathroom. The twin apartments of 
Plan No. 2 provide the living room with Murphy Bed, a Dutch Breakfast room, 


Kitchenette and bathroom. The floor plan of these apartments closely follow 
those adopted for use in two of the newer expensive apartment hotels. The reduction. of 
space to the necessary essentials not only economizes the expenditure but makes housekeeping 
an easy matter. 

The interior finish in beautifully grained wood, the exquisite cabinet work of the fixtures 
and in all its entirety the superiority of the construction thruout sustain the Aladdin reputation 
for excellence in each Aladdinette. Extra charge for siding or shingles if furnished instead 
of lath for stucco. Write for detailed specifications of the Lakota.

The Wayne 


HE principle of Aladdinette construction can be carried with 
logic and propriety into the building of large and pretentious 
homes. On the other hand it is the body and soul of a small 
dwelling. Without Aladdinette features a home of these di- 

mensions would offer little in comfort, but with them it is supplied 
with every comfort and convenience possible in a house of this size. 


“How small may a really livable and lovable home be?” the chief 
Aladdin architect was asked. His answer was the Wayne. It is a 
practicable, little dovecote for two, a nest if you wish—but a complete 
one. Its thoroughly workable appointments offer practical home- 
owning possibilities that fit the most slender purse. Here is a living 
room—many seven and eight room city homes do not have nearly so 
large and well lighted living rooms. Its four 


windows opening on three sides brighten the 
home with sunshine and banish gloom. ; 


The Kitchenette and Dutch Breakfast room 
are standard Aladdinette features. The bath- 
room is just the same as one finds in larger 
homes. The use of the closeted Murphy Bed 
eliminated the necessity of a separate bedroom.

The Wayne presents an artistic exterior. Its 
cedar shingled sides may be left in natural color 
effect or if stained a dark green will be equally ' 
well adapted to rustic surroundings in an attrac- AR AES Bieta Se 
tive way. BED Roqm 

The construction is the same in the Wayne as 
in all homes Aladdin built. It is of the best. The 
low price has not caused the slightest deviation 
from our inflexible standard of high quality. 
Purchasers of the Wayne will be assured of a 
warm, permanently substantial home. Write 
for detailed specifications of The Wayne.

The Consett 


HE Consett home represents an entirely new feature in home 

building, both exterior and interior are original. From the 

utility and comfort that is offered in the floor plan of the Con- 

sett, it is doubtful whether a home of twice its size could offer 
greater usefulness. The arrangement of rooms and the Aladdinette 
plan-furnish the occupants of this home dining room, living room, 
bathroom, dressing room,-bedroom and kitchen utility. A home not 
possessing all of these features and considerably larger in size would 
cost at least one thousand dollars more when completed and still the 
owner would not secure the value secured in purchasing the Consett. 
It seems impossible to provide a living room 18x10 in a home of this 
size and still provide for the other features. 
It is an example of skillful planning of 
room arrangement and greatest knowledge 
of home construction. The exterior is as 
attractive as any home could possibly be 
of this size. Ordinarily the small home 
does not offer sufficient usefulness to the 
owner and is therefore neglected in exterior 


attractiveness. The Consett on the contrary is 
ey a permanent home for the small family and ‘it 
SRLS /, has been treated on the exterior to compare fav- 
orably with homes of its size. Both the exterior 
and interior are most desirable. The Consett is 
very popular with home. builders. Murphy Bed 
and .5-foot Kitchen Cabinet included in price.

The Stanhope Plan A 


HE long established and popular “Stanhope” design which has 

been a favorite design in the Book of Aladdin Homes, has 

joined the Aladdinette group. A revision of the interior plan 
which added the Aladdinette features, puts this good looking, com- 
fortable home in the Aladdinette group. 

It has three bedrooms, a sunroom, extra closets, and an inside entrance 
to the cellar and a hallway to the bathroom. ‘The living room is com- 
fortably large. In view of the extreme popu- 
larity of the old “Stanhope” there is no doubt- 
ing that the new Stanhope Plan A with the 
improved floor plans and Aladdinette features 
will be a great favorite. Here you have a cov- 
ered front porch; the living room, sunroom 
and dining room running together with wide 
archways affording a clean sweep of light and 
air through the front half of the house; a well 
located bathroom, a Kitchenette with complete 
equipment; a dressing room and two closeted 
Murphy Beds (which are of course included 
in the specifications and price). 

The Stanhope Plan A looks, and is, strong, 
substantial, and comfortable. ‘The adherence 
to strictly simple architecture saves cost and as 
you see attractive appearance is retained.

ihe Rendolph 


HE twin apartment arrangement is a logical development of the 
Aladdinette Home. The Randolph utilizes the Aladdinette 
space-saving features to accommodate separate families in two 
complete apartments under one roof. The sunroom, Murphy- 

ized, becomes a sleeping porch. The living room has its Murphy Bed 
which opens out of the dressing room. [From the dressing room a 
door leads to the bathroom. The Kitchenette and Dutch Breakfast 
Room complete the floor plan. 

These twin apartments are in fact duplicates, to all intents and purposes, of 


apartments in a well known apartment hotel in one of the larger cities, apart- 
ments that rent for enough to buy this Aladdinette in two years. 


There is little basis of comparison be-
